Manchester United 3-2 Fulham: Robin van Persie made his full debut and it took the Dutchman just 10 minutes to open his account for his new side, as he helped Manchester United to victory over Fulham.

The £24million man equalised with a superb finish after Damien Duff stole the early headlines, when he put Fulham a goal up inside three minutes.

On the 35-minute mark, Shinji Kagawa also celebrated his home debut with a goal to put Manchester United 2-1 up, before Rafael da Silva made it three with a header from close range.

Fulham gave themselves a glimmer of hope midway through the second half when a defensive mix-up saw Nemanja Vidic put the ball into his own net.

Wayne Rooney was introduced to the action shortly after, but although he couldn’t add to the score, United will be glad to get their first win on the board.

Aston Villa 1-3 Everton

Everton continued where they left off against Manchester United on Monday, as they helped themselves to three first-half goals at Villa Park.

Steven Pienaar gave the Toffees the lead, before Marouane Fellaini got his second of the season, thanks largely to poor goalkeeping from Shay Given .

Things got worse for new Villa boss Paul Lambert before the break, as Everton striker Nikica Jelavic more or less put the game to bed.

And Lambert’s side were condemned to their second defeat in two games when Ciaran Clark was given a harsh red early in the second half for a trip on Jelavic.

Karim El Ahmadi pulled one back for the hosts but it was nothing more than a consolation.

Norwich 1-1 QPR

Simeon Jackson bagged Norwich’s first goal of the season, but the lead was short-lived when Bobby Zamora was fastest to react to Djibril Cisse’s saved penalty.

Norwich will feel aggrieved not to have taken more from the game, as it looked as though Rangers’ goalkeeper Rob Green handled outside the box in the second half and Robert Snodgrass had two great chances to snatch the points.

Southampton 0-2 Wigan

Wigan claimed their first points of the 2012/13 season with a valuable win at new boys Southampton.

The teams went in goalless at half-time, but it took Franco di Santo just six minutes to give the Latics the lead after the break in a game where both teams will have been looking to pick up all three points.

Southampton tried to respond but Ali al-Habsi kept the Saints strikers at bay, saving especially well from Rickie Lambert. Then Arouna Kone fired low past Kelvin Davis to give the visitors what could be a valuable three points come the end of the season.

Spurs 1-1 West Brom

Benoit Assou-Ekotto thought he had given Spurs all three points with a second-half strike against West Brom at White Hart Lane, but a last-minute goal from James Morrison gave the visitors a share of the spoils.

A relatively lacklustre performance from both sides saw them go into the break 0-0, but the game came to life in the second half.

After joining Spurs on a permanent basis earlier in the week, Emmanuel Adebayor was introduced to the action early in the second half along with West Brom loanee Romelu Lukaku.

But it was Jermain Defoe who nearly made the breakthrough for the hosts, only for his effort to be adjudged offside.

Spurs did take the lead shortly after, when Assou-Ekotto fired a shot past Ben Foster in the Baggies’ goal but Morrison snatched a point at the death.

Swansea 3-0 West Ham

Earlier in the day, Swansea enjoyed a couple of hours as Premier League leaders as they followed their 5-0 demolishing of QPR last weekend with a 3-0 home win against newly promoted West Ham, with goals from Angel Rangel, Michu and Danny Graham.

Sunderland P-P Reading

It was a more frustrating afternoon for Sunderland and Reading, who saw their tie at the Stadium of Light postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
